Jazz on the 5th, Number. 11

Welcome back, Woody. Here is another exquisite video of my favorite Woody Herman and his orchestra, playing "After you've gone".

I have to warn you. I have about 70 CD's from Woody. Covering his career from the beginning in the 30ties until the end in the 80ties. With great soloists like Stan Getz or, as seen in this video, Bill Hunt on trumpet and Sal Nistico on tenor sax. So, all these CD's will give me a lot of ideas to put Woody (many times, but not exlusively) on my blog.

A bit in the style of Woody, who during a life performance, at the end, said to the audience: "Thanks a lot for coming. I hope you enjoyed it. If so, you can hire us to play at weddings. And if you have neighbors you don't like, we can take care of that too".
